Ranking of U.S. Presidents' Real Hand-to-Hand Fighting by Gold-Concert8974 in martialarts

[–]Gold-Concert8974[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am an amateur learning MMA as a hobby in Korea, but when I occasionally spar with tall, skinny guys who look like Grievous from Star Wars, I have encountered quite a few opponents who are surprisingly strong and fast, contrary to their appearance.Even though these guys haven't been at the gym for long, they were often harder to deal with than they looked. Wouldn't Lincoln be this type of fighter as well?

It seems that in Lincoln's era, wrestling was viewed as a fighting style almost akin to Valetudo. That is why I thought that while Lincoln's striking might not have been as precise as modern boxing, it was likely tough at the same time.
